Heyward is out of the lineup for the second straight game Sunday against the Royals, FOX Sports Midwest reports.

Analysis:

He's sitting back-to-back games for the first time this season, signifying that Randal Grichuk may have a chance to cut in to some of his playing time against right-handers. Heyward does have six multi-hit games in May but isn't seeing the ball particularly well, recording 15 strikeouts compared to six walks.
